Wow, that was brutal foul/punch by Batum. He is obviously very frusterated.

Batum punching people in the nuts!!! Dirty player and a sore loser.

I can't watch this right now, who did he punch? If it was Pau, Pau should worry about Batum doing it again and then holding up two fingers. How embarrassing, and to do that on an international stage?
 
At least it shows he has a mean streak; that's kind of encouraging. But I do hope he was retaliating for something that got done to him earlier...
 
He punched Navarro with intent from the start. Ran up to him with a closed fist and teeth clenched and hauled of on his sensitives.

It was retaliation against Spain for winning. Why would Spain do anything to a guy that just stands on the 3 point line?
 
Batum really seems to hate Spain - the most fire he's ever demonstrated in the NBA is dunking on Pau. Wonder if him and Rudy are still going antiquing together later.

Great take! Rubio was 2nd in ROY voting even after missing half the season. His balls are huge.

maybe next year he can post a 15 PER and maybe even approach a .400 shooting percentage!

after he comes back from the shredded knee that is

LOL Dumb Portland fans showing they don't know very much about basketball. How'd he do in steals and assists? Or do those count for nothing in this league you dream of? You would KILL to have Rubio as your PG and you all know it. True story.

Over Lillard? I would not be so sure. Personally I want my best ball handler to be one of my top scorers. Last January I would have killed for Rubio. Right now..... not so much.
 
worst shooting percentage in the nba
below average PER

kemba walker had a higher PER last year, and kemba walker shot .366 from the field :lol:

and he doesnt have a shredded knee

Advanced stats prove his numbers are hollow. I'll give him kudos on his steals/per but a sub-15 PER and shooting sub-36% is pathetic. PA-THE-TIC.

True.

Story.

Golliver's report on the Spain/France game http://www.blazersedge.com/2012/8/9...olympics-nicolas-batum-victor-claver-face-off . Claver as usual was not allowed to play in an important game. Batum got a rating of 6 out of 10. Defense pretty good and made a couple spectacular plays; but there seems to be a pattern developing; the better the competition and more important the game, the worse his offense gets. (Doesn't he also have poor shooting % in Blazer playoff games?)

Sergio Scariolo is like the Spanish Nate McMillan. He has his favorites and is a bit of a control freak. Other Spanish players who do not flourish under him: Ricky Rubio and Serge Ibaka, who hardly played at all in the France game. I don't think that proves Ibaka is worthless.

I can see how that could happen. I hope Claver can be a good player; I just keep waiting to see something that would make me think that will happen.

I am extremely grateful that I do not respect Golliver's opinion on player analysis.

I haven't really followed him enough to form an opinion about his analysis. He mostly just seems to describe the plays he sees a particular playing making or not making. If you watched the game, I would be interested in hearing any discrepancies you noticed. I was interrupted with a house repair issue while watching.
 
Sergio Rodriguez getting some burn right now against Russia in a semi-final. He still is afraid to shoot the ball.
